Product Description
From Amazon.com
On their previous album, Ill Communication, the Beastie Boys expanded their parameters yet again, melding cutting-edge hip-hop with slinky jazz, butt-wiggling funk, weepy classical, and combustive punk rock. Four years down the line, the group's music isn't nearly as organic. They've all but abandoned the guitars and returned to the kind of old-school beats and rhythms that defined their groundbreaking 1989 disc, Paul's Boutique. But Hello Nasty isn't a regression, and it's anything but a cop-out: in addition to resurrecting the best elements from their past, the Beastie Boys have embraced the dopest high tech gizmos of the computer age. Hello Nasty gurgles like galactic sulfur pools, whizzes like a Sega game, and slurps and thumps like the best backward Hendrix loops. Add in a cavalcade of Latin percussion, calliope keyboards, and exotic samples (Stravinsky, Stephen Sondheim, Jazz Crusaders, Rachmaninoff), and you're left with one of the most creative and jubilant hip-hop records to date, even if you exclude witty lyrics like, "I'm the king of Boggle / There is none higher / I get 11 points off the word quagmire" ("Putting Shame in Your Game"). To paraphrase über-critic Robert Christgau, Paul's Boutique may have been the band's Pet Sounds, but Hello Nasty is the Beasties' Sgt. Pepper's. --Jon Wiederhorn

Mixmaster Mike with the scratch routine!,
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
Question? Where can you get Spanish singers, Jamacian reggae, Lottery adverts, and references to tangerines on the same record? Answer: Hello NastyThis is probably the peak of the Beasties' work, bringing together all that they do best and making it better. Old Skool is the way to be, and don't they know it. The best track has got to be '3 Mc's and One DJ', that should not bring down the rest of the album. As well as the posturing of 'Super Disco Breakin'' you get the thoughtful sides like 'Song For The Man'. The collaborations are numerous, with heavyweights like Lee Perry, Lucious Jackson, Money Mark and Mixmaster Mike all bringing stength to the album. This is definately the sound of science. If it was possible, this would get 6 out of 5.

Buy This Album!,
By juggal01@aol.com (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
I bought this album after hearing the tracks like Intergalactic, Body Movin, Super Disco Breakin. And I thought the whole album would be like that, but then you get tracks likeSong For The Man, And Me, and I Don't Know, which are totally different styles. It just makes it better, and this album is a must for any Beastie fan, or fan of music in General. Phat Album!

4.0 out of 5 stars
super disco breaks,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hello Nasty (Audio CD)
I waited a long time for this CD! I think the Beastie Boys left four years or so between Hello Nasty and the last proper album, Ill Communication. There were rumours going round about this album for quite a while; I heard it was going to be called 'Submarine' at one point. Anyway it's good, and worth the wait. With a huge 22 tracks, this is the pretty much longest BB album so far. As on IC, there's a real mix of styles here; if anything, they seem to shy away from the thrashiness of 'Sabotage' and veer towards their traditional hip-hop roots. The best stuff is, let me see, 'Super Disco Breakin' (mainly because the police siren break is so cool), 'Remote Control' (no relation to the Clash song), 'Body Movin', 'Three MC's and One DJ'... the list goes on. I didn't think 'Intergalactic' was a great choice of opening single - but the video WAS funny.
